I
used to own a lot of words, I used to talk all dayBut
the more peace I find, the less I have to sayBut
I could talk to you all night and then tomorrow tooAnd
when the quiet hour came we’d both be still

We
don’t need to share a roof because we all share the skyI may
never know your body but you’ve touched my mind

And
the night will be young, and I will sit by your sideWe’ll go
absolutely nowhere, mile after mile

I’ve
been walking ‘round this town for hours studying the seaThe
gift shops are closed but I can still hear wind chimes ringingIf
it’s all a magic show, if life is a dream hereThen let’s
practice for the final act where we make each other disappear

And
the night will be young …

May
desire be my teacher, may my heart always be wiseMay I find you,
may you find me, in all our other livesI will meet you where the
joy lives that no body can containIf you move toward me, if only
with your mind, I’ll invite you in

Today
I swam over the coral and I opened up my eyesSaw all the starfish
down there holding on so tightSo I opened up my fingers and let
the water throughAnd that’s when I remembered being held by you

We’ll
go absolutely nowhere, mile after mile

I
used to own a lot of words, I used to talk all dayBut the more
peace I find the less I have to say

Si
pogués

et
construiria

un
castell

de
petites

tendreses.

Les
ordenaria

una
a una

darrera

de
cada somriure.

Però
les faria

invisibles

perque
no

haguessis

d´agrair-les

ANEM-HI

Vinga!
Baixem al llac gran encara que gairebé estigui gelat.

Portem
una cistella per posar-hi les pedres adequades.

Tot
i que la casa està a mig fer

farem
una llar de foc amb aquestes que tenim

Recollirem
aquelles pedres del Llac “Superior”

Hi
anirem travessant la pineda

tot
i que està a punt de nevar.

Escollirem
un bon arbre, el tallarem

i
l´arrastrarem rera nostre fins a casa.

Tot
i que just acabem de començar

vosaltres
sou la família que jo he escollit

i
sé que la Gràcia de Déu,

la
Gràcia de Déu ens posarà l´estrella al damunt.

Neixes
en una familia

Fas
una familia.

Et
guanyes una familia

Gairebé
tot en el seu lloc,

Tot
el que sé

és
que estic a casa

quan
estic aprop teu.

Anem
al porxo del darrera

quan
estigui a punt de fer-se de nit

Esperem
que la constel.lació d´Orió

s´alci
per sobre el bosc de cedres

enmig
de cap lloc,

lluny
de la ciutat

Mai
m´havia sentit més realitzat que ara.

Neixes
en una familia

Fas
una familia.

Estar
a prop teu.

Només
vull estar a prop teu

Vinga!
Baixem al llac gran

LET´S
GO

Let’s
go down to the big lake, tho it’s almost frozenLet’s
bring a basket to put the right stones inTho
the house is half done, we’ll make a fireplace with these ones

Gather
these stones from Lake Superior

Let’s
go out through the pine wood, tho the snow’s a comingLet’s
pick the right tree and drag it home behind us

Tho
we’ve just begun, you are the family I’ve chosenAnd I know
Grace, I know Grace will put the star on

One
family you’re born in, one family you make

One
family you gain, already in placeAll I know is I’m
homeWhenever I’m near you

Let’s
go out to the back porch, when the evening’s overWait for Orion
to rise above the cedarsIn the middle of nowhere, far from the
town
